Saying it expects high system linepack due to reduced demand andlimited storage injection capability to continue through theweekend, Tennessee is issuing an OFO Action Alert effective withSaturday’s gas day for its entire system. Under the alert, shipperswill be penalized for daily positive imbalances that exceed a 2%tolerance range (or 500 Dth, whichever is greater) from scheduledquantities. Penalties will not apply to customers who underdeliverinto the system or overtake from it, or to customers under RateSchedule LMS-MA who have elected the Storage Swing Option or Swingon Storage. Tennessee expects the alert to remain in effect intonext week.
